| Major John Boggs, son of Captain Boggs,
married the widow of Il Captain Taylor, of
GAINESVILLE, and during his residence there
Major Boggs told Judge Putnam and Judge
BlocRson that he had frequently heard his
father say that the Indian Chieftan Logan was
buried on Logan Hill, us it was then called, on
| the northeast bank OF the Scotio river, oppo-
site Chillcothe
Captain George Wolfe scout in Dunmore's
campaign, told his family the same facts re-
specting the burial piece of Logan. a son of
his, Frank Wolfe, was the owner of the land
where General Lewis camped in lITI.
Frederick Burley, chief Indian spy under
General Lewis, while on n circle hunt on the
headwaters of Rattlcsnakc, stopped with the
noted panther-killer Captain VIM. Robinson,
and during an evening conversation stated
that he had often been at Logan's cabin on
Mount Logan; that Logan was killed by an
Indian, while seated under tree in front of
his cabin, and buried in the center of u mound
and that he had often seen his grave.
Major Slower, who was taken prisoner and
sentenced by the council TO be burned at the
stake, but by Providence's aid escaped, says in
his manuscript of the war of l1,i that Logan
was murdered by war Indian in his cabin on
his summer mount.
The dramatic episodes OF the tragic and mel
ancholy career of the Indian Chief Logan, taken
as they are from life, form one of the most pow
erful and pathetic chapters in the romance of
Western history.
Logan was the son of an intelligent Cayuga
Chief named ShilSelemus, who was converted
to Christianity. The son got his name from
that of James Logan, Secretary of the Province
of Pennsylvania, man highly esteemed by
his father Logan's early relations with the
white people were of n most pleasant character.
William Bran, of Pennsylvania, who was an
associate judge of Mifin County, in that
State, from its origin until his death at the age
OF ninety-one, relates an anecdote of Logan
that is significant as an index 10 the natural
disposition and character of the well known
Indian.
When Judge Browns little daughter was be-
ginning to walk, Logan, who was n visitor at
Browns cabin, heard the mother express regret
that she could not get pair of shoes for her
chds feet, in order that more frmness might
be impaired to her steps. Logan said nothing,
but few moments later he asked Mrs. Brown
TO let the little girl spend the day with him at
his cabin. The mother was alarmed at this
proposition, but she was acquainted with his
sensitive nature and did not like to refuse; so
she consented with trembling heart but with
apparent grace.
The day wore slowly on and the shades of
twilight began TO steal upon the forest. The
Indian and little girl did not appear. Mrs.
Brown became wild with anxiety, and was
suddenly strobe in and set the child down be-
fore her, The first thing that the little girl did
was TO exhibit pair of beautiful new mocca-
sins, in the manufacture of which Logan had
spent the whole day.
Judge Brown called Logan 1.-THE best speci-
men of human ty he ever met with, either white
or red" The incidents showing Logans love
for the white race In his early manhood are
many and interesting, and it was not until he
